• When filling the appliance with large quantities of fresh food, it is
recommended to turn to the super freeze function (if available).
• The storage time for purchased deep-frozen products varies and
depends on the type of product and its packaging. Therefore,
strictly observe the producer/manufacturer instructions on the
packing.
cleaning and maintenance
Always make sure that the power supply is switched off prior to con-
ducting any maintenance or cleaning job of the appliance.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period of
time, leave the door open to prevent odors and unpleasant smells
building up inside.
defrosting
Defrost the freezer once the frost on the freezer walls reaches 5-6
mm thick.
Do not use any electrical sharp or mechanical objects to remove the
frost, but use a plastic or wood scraper without sharp edges. Never
use a metal scraper.
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure to unplug the appliance.
2. Dry your hands thoroughly to prevent skin damage by contact
with ice (it is advised to use gloves).
3. Remove all frozen food from the appliance and place it into a
container or cool box, to help keep it very cold, then place the
container or cool box in a cool, dry room.
4. Pull out the water drain plug (if available) located at the bottom
of the appliance, so that the defrost water will drain out.
5. Scrap the ice carefully from the interior of the appliance and
place it in your kitchen sink.
6. Thoroughly clean and rinse the interior of the appliance with
warm water and remove any food or liquids.
7. Wipe the appliance with an absorbent cloth or sponge. Leaving
the door open will help speed up the drying process.
8. Replace the drain-plug (if available).
9. Close the appliance door, replace the plug in the socket and turn
the appliance on.
10. Now load the frozen food.
To prevent frozen food from defrosting, carry out the defrosting
procedure within a maximum of two hours to reduce significant rise
in temperature of the frozen food that could shorten its storage life.
